Easy Like Sunday Morning...

I made breakfast this morning... a Raspberry Jalousie with Lemon Glaze and a Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Jalousie... I was going to make pop tarts out of puff pastry but then stumbled acrosss the Jalousie recipes. Both were super easy to make, since I used store bought Puff Pastry :)

Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Jalousie

Pre heat over to 400°

Filling

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

4 tsp flour

Jalouise

Defrost Puff Pastry according to directions on the box.

Cut one pastry sheet in half lengthwise to form 2 rectangles.

Fold 1 rectangle in half lengthwise. Using a sharp knife, cut 9 slits through the folded side to within ½-inch of the opposite edge.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and placed the uncut half of the pastry on the sheet. Sprinkle filling onto the pastry to ½ inches of the edge.

Unfold the cut pastry and place on top of the filling and press the edges to seal.

Bake for 15 minutes.
